Why emulated 3g on pagespeed-insights?

[vbond...@gmail.com]

As i checked on google, pagespeed measures mobile and desktop sites using "Emulated 3G network". 

As per some GSMA report from 2016 that 75% or users are on 2G/3G networks.

Thats almost 2019 year and many users are on 4G/Wifi now, so reports are useless.

Its hard to tell the client that Pagespeed-Insights is wrond and websites are faster then Google thoughts.

Google should use "No throttling" or add switcher for 4G network.

Any updates? 

Everyone is ok with 3G throttling on measuring your websites?

I agree with you. I think they should check on 4G.

+1 - basic requirement.

Are you sure for 2G/3G?

I think they use these limits:

The mobile network throttling preset

This is the standard recommendation for mobile throttling:

• Latency: 150ms
• Throughput: 1.6Mbps down / 750 Kbps up.
• Packet loss: none.

These exact figures are used as Lighthouse's throttling default and represent roughly the bottom 25% of 4G connections and top 25% of 3G connections. They are identical to the WebPageTest "Mobile 3G - Fast" preset and, due to a lower latency, slightly faster for some pages than the WebPageTest "4G" preset.

Based on information here: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/blob/master/docs/throttling.md#the-mobile-network-throttling-preset

Yes im sure.

I got warning (either on desktop or mobile version) about Emulated 3G network.

I tested my website on real phone on 4G network and it loads 3-4 seconds, Pagespeed-Insights measured that it loads 10-12 seconds.

Server is in US, im in Ukraine.

So even if im in Ukraine (with those latencies, etc) i dont see those 12 seconds.

If i switch my phone to 3G, yes i see that website loads 9-10 seconds. (thats why i was wondering why Google dont use GPRS limits to measure :) I also have GPRS phone, why not measure on it? )
